As much as I HATE the noise, we can’t exactly afford a food processor at the moment. I was thinking using my pea brain and I thought of something. Chop in a blender. Would this be possible? If so, all I’d need are the veggies and an ice cube tray then, right? The frozen veggies here are dirt...
Rico is super picky and sensory sensitive but is willing to try new things if it fits his picky wants. can't be too soft, can't be too wet, can't be too red but there should be some because he will be less interested if there isn't any, can't have pomegranate because I am mildly allergic, and...
I made some chop yesterday for my Conure. I got him 5 days ago and he's been really happy and enjoying his life so far, but he's not eating his chop. It has apples, spinach, pumpkin, sweet peppers, broccoli, sweet peas, pineapple, carrots, and stuff. The most he does is lick it and spit it out...

Hello guys,
I want to add a range of legumes to my parrots chop and I know most people use something available in the US called 16 beans soup mix. Unfortunately we don’t have that here in the UK. Does anyone happen to know a similar soup mix which is good for parrots available in the UK? Thanks:)
Hey guys,
I hope I'm not being annoying by posing this question but currently I'm really trying to change my parrots diet. I've sort of struggled with finding scientific avian nutrition books that are also affordable? I know Bird Tricks has one but quite frankly, without doubting their...
This is my 3rd or 4th batch of parrot chop (I make pretty massive quantities typically that last me well over 4 months in the freezer). I want to say I'm getting better, yet each variation I seem to run into a new issue. I figured I'd share this round in case it's somehow helpful to someone...
Hii, I have recently started with chop for my amazon due to lack of time and the posibility of freezing it. However, Ellie refuses to eat most of it. I chopped the veggies and fruits really small, even for her, but she still picks them.
Above all, she loves the Quinoa -I made it with an...
I made my second batch of chop ever after the first went over so well and lasted me so long. I tried it with a different variety of veggies based on seasonal availability, packaged them in about 3 days worth of supply, and loaded em all into the freezer to be used as needed.
This chop seems to...
Hello!!
So I'm trying my hand at some mash in an effort to transition Lala towards a healthier diet. I've done some research and think I've got a good mash and will be going out after work to get the ingredients.
Is this a good mash? Fruits will be given separately because it won't be as...
This is a video on how we feed our flock! I hope it helps somebody. Just a disclaimer that just because this is how we feed our flock doesn't mean that it is what you SHOULD feed them. Ingredients and routine preferences vary widely between parront to parront :) :green2::grey:
So I'm kind of really stressing out. I';m feeding Timneh Nutri Berries. I have a couple of different kinds. I bought a big tub of the parrot food does this last awhile should I refrigerate for longevity? Safflower Gold mix, and Kaytee Fiesta blend parrot food. I mix them together and put...
I have a couple of completely novice questions, so I'm hoping some of you can educate me!
I have a 7 year old parakeet that has been on pellets most of her life. I'm slowly introducing her to fresh foods - she's loving greens and peas, but not much else yet. We're also bringing home a baby sun...
Who got chops? I got chops! Well, actually, I have chop, which is even better! Thanks to my wonderful parents' coming over to my house to help with the slicing and dicing, I finished my first batch of chop! It only took us about three hours to make the huge vat with over twenty different...
So I decided to start my first chop. Even though I was working for one parrot, shopping, washing, chopping, cooking, draining, bagging, freezing, washing it took me from 11:00 am to 5 pm. With interruptions from kids and phone calls and lunch.
I didn't have as much variety as some of the...
